The record names Fred Lake as manager of the Boston Nationals, though its notes describe him as a Boston Americans figure, a discrepancy worth keeping in mind since the two clubs were separate teams in the city at the time. Lake managed the Nationals in 1910, and the bracketed date fits that season. The glass negative came from the Bain News Service, a New York wire photo agency that sold quick portraits and action shots of athletes and public figures to newspapers across the country.
